That's in Canada, right?
Yes, and I can shed some light on this.
Quebec City (which is one giant tourist trap, yet one of the nicest places I've ever seen), was like a giant Natalie Portman look-alike contest. Each girl was more attractive than the last.
I later learned, however (from a Canadian friend who lives around the area), this is due to the fact that the girls there are trying to bag a wealthy, american husband. Because of this, they live in apartments which are basically closets, have very little furniture, and spend every penny they make on beauty products in the hopes of finding that rich guy.
I know quite a few rich Canadian guys, so it made me wonder why these women didn't turn their hunt to their own territory. Furthermore, driving into Montréal is, for many americans, a poor man's vacation. If I had money, which I don't, I'd use that money to fly to a tropical island like Hawaii, not drive to Canada purely for the sake of not being in the US.
The only people who drive to Canada for a vacation are those who can't afford a real vacation or american teenagers looking to drink and cannot legally do so in the US. In either case, these aren't the groups I would be looking to hit up for money.
